$A$ block of mass $m_{2}$ is placed on a horizontal table and another block of mass $m_{1}$ is placed on top of it. An increasing horizontal force $F=\alpha t$ is exerted on the upper block, but the lower block never moves as a result. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $\mu_{1}$ and that between the lower block and the table is $\mu_{2}$, then what is the maximum possible value of $\mu_{1} / \mu_{2}$?

If $100 \,N$ force is applied to $10 \,kg$ block as shown in the diagram,the acceleration of $40 \,kg$ slab is (in $\,ms^{-2}$)
